Public bug reported:
I have the iproute2 package installed on a 14.04 LTS system. Everything
was operating just fine. I had not done a software update in a while.
I used the Software Updater from Dash and updated the system. It
updated a couple hundred megabytes. The update completed without error
(as far as I know). It said a reboot was needed. So I rebooted.
After that, I had problems.
Specifically, when I type "ip rule list", the output runs on and on and on,
seemingly without end.
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
...
I tried "ip rule flush" which seems to hang.
I was eventually able to clear out the rules with:
ip rule del pref 0
ip rule del pref 32766
ip rule del pref 32767
But that leaves me without even the 3 standard rules, which are:
0: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
So I need to add those back
But as soon as I try to add the first of the 3 standard ip rules, the problem
occurs again:
ip rule add from all table local pref 0
ip rule list
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
0: from all lookup local
...
The same thing occurs if I try to add any of the other standard rules.
I tried updating a second 14.04 LTS machine. The same thing happened to
that one.
Now what?
